Destructive Prairie Fire.

On Wednesday,, the breeze which
had sprung up in the morning, turned
into gale, and by 2 o'clock it was
blowing furiously. and on before it
came rolling sea of fire from the
northwest; whence it's origin or where
it would stop seemed an enigma; the
town folks hurried out to the scene.
some with buckets and others with
teams and plows, to endeavor to save
hay and grain that lay in the path of
the destroying element, and in this
they succeeded in saving some, al.
though owing to the high speed of the
gale, the heavy crop of dry grass and
the scarcity of water, rendered efforts
almost useless, and by the time it
takes to pen this item, several stacks
Of grain and hay were ablaze and be-.
ing wiped away; we understand that
one or two houses were also consumed.
Luckily, the wind changed somewhat
and the frey stream had now reached
the lake belt was abated somewhat,
and by Thursday noon seemed to have
wholly gone down.
1t would seem to us that it were
about time our farmers should take
early precautions in guarding against
the annual ravages Of prairie fires, this
with the misfortune of former years
from the same causes should teach
them an impressive lesson in this di.
rection; and on the Reservation, let
it be suggested, that the representa-.
tive of the Government see that those
in charge Of such matters attend
strictly to this neglected portion of
the fall work, viz: that when the
grain and hay is stacked, that several
burrows be plowed around the same,
and also that the work of threshing
the grain be vigorous and timely, and
by doing this hundreds of dollars
worth Of useful product would be
saved and misery and hunger kept
away from many homes.

+ Morris A. Thomas, U. s. Indian
Inspector, who made visit here
lately was interviewed by a Pioneer
Press reporter, and thus proceeds
to panegyrize on conclusion
formed from a three days expert
ence on the Reservation:
~ regard Col. Sheehan as one
of the most Jealous agents in the
country. I had a council with the
Indians, and they spoke Of him in
laudable terms. The Indians are
making rapid progress toward civ
ilization. They have raised an ex.
cellant crop this season, and the
schools are being we'll attended.
| know of no agency where the
Indians are making greater ad-
vancement and where things are
better managed.'
A PROGRESS reporter called on
White Cloud, Head Chief of the
Reservation, and read the above to
him, asking him if that was the
substance of their talk or council
in the Office while the Inspector
was here the old Chief seemed
somewhat surprised, and after a
moments pause said, II was pres.
ent every day of the council and
l don't know-did not hear any
one say anything about the agent,
the agency school or our progress
towards civilization, what we
talked about, was the cutting of
our dead and fallen timber that
statement seems all wrong and an
exaggeration -

the air was still and balmy; suddenly
there arose from the west heavy
bank of dark fleecy clouds, rolling and

befall our village; the clouds, hereto.
fore dark, verging. unto gray, turned
to a greenish yellow, and by the time
the threatening cloud had reached the
zenith, the air was in motion and a

ton of cooling the air somewhat,
the portentious scene drifted eastward
